A Feilding man is in a drug-induced coma following an attack in Palmerston North, last night.
Police said the 20-year-old had been talking to three people in a parked car on Main Street at about 10.30pm and he was found lying on the road with a serious head injury.
Detective Sergeant Grayson Joines said police were investigating the attack and would like to speak to the blonde-haired female driver of the car, who was with two males.
